“Sure but let me warn you about something, Josiah Shelby.” Pressing down on Josiah’s arms, Liam
added, “Edith is no longer your wife, she is someone that I like. If you dare to bully her, I’ll burn down
your house.” “Yeah?” Gritting his teeth, Josiah chuckled and glanced at Meredith. “So this is who you
got to have your back?“
“No, I didn’t.” His cold stare sent chills right down her spine. Meredith said to Liam, “That’s enough
Mister Liam, stop joking around.”
“Enjoy the food, both of you. I’m going to check on Yena.” She then quickly went upstairs.
After letting go of Josiah, Liam went back to his seat, wanting to continue his dinner.
But Josiah threw the plate of baked salmon into the dumpster and seethed, “Liam Sheldon, no matter
how much I hate her, I will not let you have someone that once belonged to me.”
“You can’t be too sure about that,” Liam shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “I don’t believe that you’ll
be able to keep her by your side for the rest of your life.”
“Try me.”
“Josiah Shelby, you-“Aiming the knife in his hand at Josiah, Liam yelled, “you’re sick!”
“You got that right.”
Josiah then headed upstairs.
After Meredith massaged Yena and wiped her body clean, it was already getting late. Walking out of
Yena’s room, Meredith stood in front of Josiah’s room. After moments of hesitation, she finally
mustered up the courage to knock on his door. Josiah’s voice was heard from the inside. “Come in.”
Opening the door, and walking in, Josiah was just done showering. He only had a white towel hanging
around his waist. Droplets of water on his honey-tanned skin were glistening under the faint yellow
light. Meredith was used to his body but she still found herself looking away. Perhaps it had been a
long time and it was rather awkward for her. Glancing at the shy and embarrassed look on her face,
Josiah mocked, “Can’t wait to seduce me right after kicking Ysabelle out huh?”
Meredith was rendered speechless.
Meredith had absolutely no plans of doing that.
Inwardly, she scoffed.
“You’ve mistaken, Sir. I am simply here to return your phone.” She then took out the phone and showed
it to Josiah.
Laloudend immediately “You got it repaired?“
Biting the bullet, Meredith nodded. She knew that Josiah would get suspicious as this phone could not
be found anywhere in the market. But she had no other choice. She had already owed him money for
the bottle of Lafite, how could she afford to pay him back for the phone? Grabbing the phone from her
hand, Josiah threw it onto the ground. And just like that, the phone that was just repaired was broken
again. Meredith was caught off guard by his sudden behavior. Startled , frozen, she stared at him.”
You…” Wrapping his hand around her neck, Josiah pushed her until her back was sticking against the
cold wall. Staring right into her eyes, he seethed, “Meredith Leighton, you’re still the same, aren’t you?
Flirting and seducing any man you lay your eyes on!” Meredith was about to defend herself when
Josiah added, “Do you think that you’re all that great for seducing Liam? How dare you humiliate me
with this? Let me kindly remind you, no matter how capable you are, you will never be allowed into the
Sheldon family!” With his tight grip around her neck, Meredith was suffocating, gasping for air.
